Soft Stripes

Repurpose your recyclables as cheerful vases for the first blossoms of spring.

Materials:

· Glass jar, cleaned, with label removed

· Tape measure

· Scissors

· 2 or 3 colors of tissue paper

· Mod Podge decoupage glue

Instructions:

1. Measure the circumference of the jar. Cut several ½"- to 1"-wide strips of each color of paper to this length.

2. Apply Mod Podge around the bottom 1" of the jar and lay a strip of paper over it, gently smoothing out any wrinkles or bubbles. Continue in this fashion, overlapping paper edges slightly, until the jar is covered.
